It's all about the love... of music, of art, of writing, of sharing. It's what we're here for. I've been a solo artist for much of my life, but it's other people that make life worth living. Just needing to share what I've been given. Along with my solo work, there are also some tunes I did with The Tao Tones, which was me, Bob Elliott and Matt Perez, and with The Trouts which was me, Brad McCrea, Sean O'Malley and Jay Quibodeaux.

	It's Only Everyone Lyrics I penned a while back. Just set them to music. Wanted a stripped down arrangement of just guitar and voices.	Acoustic Adult Contemporary
	Ordinary Girl A pop song with just acoustic guitars and voices. Lots of voices. Lots of guitars.	Indie Pop
	Honest Love A rare foray for me into the world of jazz. Just wanted to write something with some fresh chords. Just solo guitar and vocals.	Acoustic Jazz
	Change the World (Acoustic Version) An acoustic version of a song I wrote a few years ago. My friend Bob Elliott encouraged me to record it with just two mics into one channel, so it's got a very live feel. I think it works best this way.	Indie Acoustic
	Crush A song really built around a beat that I was having fun with. For a change, there's no acoustic guitar strumming chords. The flute is the main feature and the words came last. A little different for me.	Alternative Retro and Psychedelic
	Survivor A rousing, uplifting, life-affirming feel-good song. A little corny and cliche, but heart-felt.	Adult Contemporary
	Your Roots They Go Down A new mix with a little more solid production.	folk punk rock
	Fire and Steel Fun rhythms and close harmonies add spice to this pretty rock-ish song.	Acoustic Alternative Rock

	Reminder Blazing guitar leading to a heart-felt mesage in a resounding, lush chorus.	Alternative Rock

Vincenzo Pandolfi	12/31/2011 7:01:31 AM HAPPY NEW YEAR Tom! Wishing you all the best in health, music and happiness in 2012. Ciao, Vincenzo
EMU	12/1/2011 12:46:34 PM I forgot to mention... That I heard your first 4 songs and "A Kiss Like That" (cool retro feel..) Very nice songs, good range on the vocals on "Change the World" and yes, acoustic was good choice... I like the fun crisp brightness of "crush" too, cool tune... Will give an ear to more soon... Cheers, EMU
EMU	12/1/2011 12:26:47 PM Tom, Thanks a lot again, for pointing out the files that weren't playing. I've re-uploaded them and checked them and there their now, for your review, when you have the time. I've had those tunes up since 2009, but have not played them since I first put them up. So it might be a good idea, for all that read this, to check your tunes, as the files may have been corrupted somewhere down the line.... Respects, Eric Richardson / EMU
Gary Stockton	11/26/2011 12:27:17 PM Tom. Much appreciated. Enjoy listenign to your stuff also..
Gary Stockton	11/26/2011 12:23:43 PM Hello, sorry for such a tardy response. Have not visited IAC in a while or written any new songs, but your comment was very inspirational. Thanks so much for listening to my songs. I love the Lowden. Don't you think it is one of those guitars that is designed for fingertips and not a pick? I have never really got a good sound when playing with a pick on the lowden, but gorgious tone when using finger tips. I listened to your songs Tom, and you have a really great sound, love the chrous on No Song Unsung, very catchy. Well, thank you for the comment Tom. Truly appreciated.

Stephen John	4/26/2011 8:29:19 PM Thank you so much. I didn't realize I was Artist of the week until I signed in a moment ago. I am really humble by this. Thank you so much for the greeting.

Chandra Moon	4/1/2011 1:59:46 AM Thanks so much for listening and commenting on my new song. I really appreciate feedback and I agree with your comments - it needs quite a lot of work but at least the bare bones are there. I have a great producer who'll help arrange it but I'll probably keep it pretty simple. I'll pass your lyrics on to my friend with the horse exhibition. I'll let you know what she thinks. Thanks x
